How to reduce hair fall, how to increase the hair density and how to get the clear and glowing skin? - #25997

Astha Tripathi

Earlier (3months ago) I was happy with my hairs as I was not facing the hairfall problem. But now I am facing hairfall issue and my hairs are also thin. I want to increase the density of my hairs. And my skin is clear, I don‘t have any acne but I have scars on my face. And there is no glow on my face.

Age: 24
Chronic illnesses: No
I don’t have any past issues
My periods are very normal (not even a cramp issue)
My diet is also good (4-5 chapatis)
I think my agni is also good (because i think i have the power to digest heavy foods too) but once in a month (rarely) i face acidity problem
300 INR (~3.51 USD)

Dr. Yesha Vyas Shah
I have been practicing Ayurveda since 2010, with a deep commitment to holistic healing and patient-centered care. My journey in the field began as a Medical Officer at Gareja PHC in Porbandar, Gujarat (2006–2008), where I gained valuable grassroots-level clinical experience. In 2008, I expanded my perspective by working as an Ayurvedic Consultant in Berlin, Germany, which enriched my understanding of global wellness expectations and integrative approaches. Since 2010, I have been serving as a Senior Ayurvedic Consultant at Aarsh Ayurveda Health Care in Porbandar. My core areas of expertise include classical Panchakarma therapies, Ayurvedic weight management, nutrition counseling, and Ayurvedic cosmetology. I have been managing Ayurvedic weight and lifestyle interventions since 2012 and have been practicing Ayurvedic cosmetology, including herbal skin and hair therapies, since 2015. I am known for being a patient listener and for forming strong, compassionate connections with those I treat. I believe that healing starts with being understood, and my consultative approach reflects this principle. My practice integrates traditional Ayurvedic wisdom with a personalized plan that suits the unique prakriti (constitution) and needs of each individual. Currently, I am in the process of launching a dedicated Garbh Sanskar Centre, where expectant mothers can benefit from Ayurvedic prenatal care, emotional well-being programs, and classical rituals designed to support healthy conception, pregnancy, and fetal development. With over a decade of diverse Ayurvedic practice, I strive to offer authentic, evidence-rooted care in a modern context. I aim to empower my patients with lifestyle changes, preventive care, and deep-rooted healing techniques that foster long-term wellness.

HELLO ASTHA TRIPATHI, You were doing fine, but now due to some recent change maybe diet, stress, sleep, or weather your body isn’t nourishing your hair properly. That’s why you're facing hair fall and thinning. Your skin is clean (which is great!), but the scars and dullness mean your internal system is slightly dry or undernourished. We’ll focus on feeding your skin and hair from inside using food, herbs, and natural oil care. (Hair + Face + Internal Support) Morning (Empty Stomach): 1 tsp Amla powder + warm water OR 1 tbsp Aloe vera juice + Amla juice mixed in ½ glass water After Breakfast: Bhringrajasava – 10 ml + equal water Saptamrita Lauha – 1 tablet After Lunch: Chyawanprash – 1 tsp Sukumar Ghrita – 1 tsp with warm water (improves absorption + skin glow) Night (Before Sleep): Triphala Churna – 1 tsp with warm water OR Brahmi Vati – 1 tablet if sleep is not deep or there’s stress Hair & Skin External Routine (3–4 times/week) Hair Oil Before Bath (leave 1 hour minimum): Mix Bhringraj Taila + Neelibhringadi Taila (equal parts) Warm it slightly and apply to scalp + hair length Massage for 10 mins and tie loosely Post-Bath Hair Rinse: Boil 1 tsp Triphala in 1 glass water → cool → strain → final rinse water after shampoo Use mild herbal shampoo (no harsh chemicals) Face Pack (3 times/week): Multani Mitti + Sandalwood + Rosewater (For scars: Add 2 drops lemon juice OR turmeric pinch) Keep for 15 mins, wash with cool water Glow Tip: Apply Kumkumadi Tailam (2–3 drops) at night on clean face Massage gently and leave overnight Food Tips: Have 1 tsp ghee with every meal Eat soaked almonds (4–5) + black raisins (5–6) every morning Avoid eating dry, spicy, or packaged food often Add more iron and protein: spinach, beetroot, dal, moong, methi, jaggery (if not done in past 6 months): CBC Vitamin D3 Vitamin B12 Serum Ferritin (for iron stores) TSH (if hair fall persists despite all care) Start this for 21 days sincerely, and your hair density and face glow will start showing up again. If you have any doubts, you can contact me. Take care, Regards, DR.Karthika

HELLO ASTHA, You mentioned -hairfall and thinning started recently -facial scars - no acne currently -skin looks dull, no glow -good digestion overall, but occasional acidity - normal menstrual cycle, no chronic disease From an ayurvedic perspective, your body is basically healthy, but there are a few early imbalances developing in your doshas(natural energies) and dhatus(body tissues) UNDERSTANDING HAIRFALL AND THINNIG Ayurveda says hair is a byproduct of bone tissue(asthi dhatu) and is nourished by blood(rakta) and plasma(rasa dhatu) THERE ARE 3 REASONS FOR YOUR HAIR ISSUES 1) PITTA IMBALANCE= pitta is the energy of heat and transformation. When it increases due to stress, late nights, spicy foods or sun exposure, it can overheat the scalp, causing inflammation in hair roots-> hair starts falling 2) VATA AGGRAVATION= vata controls movement and dryness . if vata is high, it dries out your scalp, making hair brittle and thin 3) WEAK NOURISHMENT TO HAIR TISSUES= even if you eat healthy, your tissues may not be absorbing nutrients properly due to mild digestive weakness or minor toxin buildup-> hair roots dont get full nutrition-> thinning UNDERSTANING SKIN SCARS AND DULLNESS 1) RAKTA DHATU IS SLIGHTLY IMPURE -even though your digestion feels good, small amounts of toxins can build up in the blood due to occasional acidity, poor sleep, or environmental factors-> this causes scars or marks on the skin 2) OJAS(ITAL GLOW) IS LOW -Ojas is the essence of good health. when Ojas is low due to stress, tiredness, irregular sleep, or dehydration, your skin looks tired or dull, even if there's no acne 3) NO FRESH NOURISHMENT TO SKIN CELLS -your outer skin depends on the health of your rasa(plasma) and rakta(blood). If these aren't being refreshed properly, healing slows down-> old scars stay longer and skin loses its natural shine AYURVEDA AIMS TREATMENT TO -Cool and nourish your body internally -purify your blood to reduce scars and clear skin - strengthen digestion -to improve nutrient absorption -adopt a gentle rouitne= including massage, yoga, diet, and medicines) MANAGEMENT PLAN 1) HAIRFALL AND LOW DENSITY -BHRINGARAJASAVA= 15ml with water twice daily after meals =nourishes liver, supports hair growth -ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp at night with warm milk =balances stress, vata and improves asthi -AMLA CAPSULES= 1 cap with warm water morning empty stomach =rasayana, enhances rasa and hair pigmentation -YASHTI MADHU CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with ghee morning and evening =supports adrenal health, improves quality of hair NASYA THERAPY= instill 2 drops of BALA TAILA in each nostril daily morning empty stomach =promotes hair health by nourishing brain and scalp area * EXTERNAL TREATMENT -MAHABRINGARAJ TAILA= warm oil, gentle scalp massage for 10-15 mins thrice weekly =strengthen roots, reduces vata -KESH KANTI OR SHIKAKAI SHAMPOO= twice weekly for mild cleansing =prevent scalp dryness without chemical use -HAIR MASK = 2 tbsp amla + brahmi churna + Aloe vera gel + curd =make paste and apply once weekly the rinse with mild shampoo = strengthen follicles, cools scalp 2) FOR SKIN GLOW OR SCAR MANAGEMENT -MAHA MANJISTHA GHAN VATI= 1 tab twice daily with warm water after meals =blood purification, pigmentation -KHADIRARISHTA= 15ml with equal water after meals twice daily =detoxifies blood, helps skin clarity -NEEM CAPSULES= 1 cap after food twice daily =purifies skin and controls any inflammation -CHANDRAPRABHA VATI= 2 tabs daily after meals =balances pitta and detoxifies skin *EXTERNAL TREATMENT UBTAN= besan+turmeric+sandalwood+milk+rose water = brightening exfoliation, removing scars PACK= multani mitti + rose water + manjistha powder =deep cleansing, ear reduction KUMKUMADI TAILA= 3 drops on face massage gently at night ALOE VERA GEL (NATURAL)=direct from leaf apply at night DIET TO BE FOLLOWED GENERAL PRINCIPLES -include oily, sweet, cooling foods to pacify pitta and vata -avoid very spicy, sour, fried, or preserved food INCLUDE -homemade ghee 2 tsp/day - soaked almonds, raisins, dates -cow milk or plant milk with cardamom and ghee -fresh fruits-especially pomegranate, papaya, amla - vegetables= beetroot, bottle gourd, spinach, ash gourd - whole grains-rice, wheat , barley - herbal teas= mint, licorice, chamomile AVOID THESE -fermented foods- pickles, curd at night - cold water, soda, energy drinks - late night meals -reheating food multiple times LIFESTYLE MORNING ROUTINE 6-6:30AM= wake up, drink warm water with 1 tsp ghee or lemon 7 AM= light exercise, yoga, or walking 7:30 AM= oil massage thrice weekly 8 AM= bath with herbal powder(mix besan+turmeric+curd) EVENING AND NIGHT SUNSET= light dinner-soup,khichdi, dal 8 PM= Kumkumadi taila face massage 9:30-10 PM= sleep, avoid screens 1 hour before bed YOGA AND PRANAYAM -Sarvangasana= 1-2 min, increases blood flow to scalp - Balasana= 2 min, relieves stress - Adho much svanasana= 2-3 min, strengthens scalp and brain - Anulom-vilom= 10 min, balances vata-pitta - Bhramari= 5 min, improves skin buster and mental calmness You're young and have no chronic illness your periods are normal you already eat fairly well these are early stage imbalances and can be reversed naturally By following this plan consistently for 2-3 months, you can see -stronger, thicker hair - reduced hair fall - lightened scars - glowing, clearer skin -more mental calmness and better digestion DO FOLLOW HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL THANK YOU DR.

Dr. Khushboo
I am a dedicated Ayurvedic practitioner with a diverse foundation in both modern and traditional systems of medicine. My journey began with six months of hands-on experience in allopathic medicine at District Hospital Sitapur, where I was exposed to acute and chronic care in a high-volume clinical setting. This experience strengthened my diagnostic skills and deepened my understanding of patient care in an allopathic framework. Complementing this, I have also completed six months of clinical training in Ayurveda and Panchakarma, focusing on natural detoxification and rejuvenation therapies. During this time, I gained practical experience in classical Ayurvedic treatments, including Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara, and other Panchakarma modalities. I strongly believe in a patient-centric approach that blends the wisdom of Ayurveda with the clinical precision of modern medicine for optimal outcomes. Additionally, I hold certification in Garbha Sanskar, a specialized Ayurvedic discipline aimed at promoting holistic wellness during pregnancy. I am passionate about supporting maternal health and fetal development through time-tested Ayurvedic practices, dietary guidance, and lifestyle recommendations. My approach to healthcare emphasizes balance, preventive care, and customized wellness plans tailored to each individual’s constitution and health goals. I aim to create a nurturing space where patients feel heard, supported, and empowered in their healing journey. Whether treating seasonal imbalances, supporting women’s health, or guiding patients through Panchakarma therapies, I am committed to delivering care that is rooted in tradition and guided by compassion.

Bhringamalakadi Taila - extly apply and massage for 10 min.-2 times Jeevamrita Leha or Chyavanaprasha Leha-1 tsf- 2 times after food with milk 3- Shuddha Shilajatu-250mg + Saptamrita Loha - 500 + bhringaraja Churna -3gm with ghee and honey after food 2 times a day selected hair treatment for three months before you will see results. Vamana-Ma Virechana-I Diet and Lifestyle Pathya: Fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, nutritious food, adequate sleep Apathya: Avoid salt, sugar, tobacco, and alcohol. Overconsumption of salt and sugar increases dandruff and hairloss. Avoid large amounts of vitamin A. Avoid strong soaps, shampoo or hair sprays. Only use mild castile soaps. Hats and wigs are apt to cause hair to fall out faster, since they limit the air to the scalp. Avoid tension, stress, worry and hurry.

To address hair fall and increase hair density, it’s important to understand your dosha, as imbalance may impact hair health. For most cases, it's Vata and Pitta that are culprits. Include a diet rich in proteins, omega-3 fatty acids, and iron. Almonds, walnuts, flaxseeds, and sesame seeds will be beneficial. Drink amla (Indian gooseberry) juice daily in the morning which nourishes the hair follicles and promotes growth. Applying Bhringraj oil regularly to your scalp can help; gently massage it in circular motions, then leave it overnight or at least for a few hours before washing it off with a mild herbal shampoo. For skin, given the presence of scars but absence of major acne concerns, focus on regeneration and pitta balancing. Include turmeric and neem powder in your diet. Fresh aloe vera gel can be applied directly on scars; leave it for about 20 minutes before rinsing off. To add glow, consider making face pack with sandalwood powder and rose water, it cools the skin and gives a glow. Drinking lots of water and a few tulsi leaves or rose petals soaked overnight also aid in enhancing glow. Avoid excessive caffeine and spicy, oily foods that disrupt your body's balance. Daily Pranayama, especially alternate nostril breathing, is excellent for maintaining overall stress which might be affecting your hair and skin. Consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist or worsen to ensure there aren't underlying nutritional deficiencies or health concerns. A balanced approach through these dietary, lifestyle and topical measures should aid in improving your hair and skin health over time. Keep consistent with these practices for at least few months to see noticeable results, as both hair and skin regeneration takes time.

I’m Dr. Hemanshu, a second-year MD scholar specializing in Shalya Tantra (Ayurvedic Surgery), with a focused interest in para-surgical interventions such as Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma. My academic and clinical journey is rooted in classical Ayurvedic surgical wisdom, complemented by a modern understanding of patient care and evidence-based approaches. With hands-on training and experience in managing chronic pain conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, hemorrhoids, fistula, and other ano-rectal conditions, I provide treatments that emphasize both relief and long-term wellness. I am deeply committed to offering individualized treatment plans that align with the patient’s prakriti (constitution), disease progression, and lifestyle factors. I believe healing is not limited to procedures alone; it also requires compassion, communication, and continuity of care. That’s why I ensure each patient receives personalized guidance—from diagnosis and therapy to post-treatment care and preventive strategies. I also incorporate Ayurvedic principles like Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), and Satvavajaya (mental well-being) to promote complete healing and not just symptomatic relief. Whether it's managing complex surgical cases or advising on conservative Ayurvedic therapies, my goal is to restore balance and improve the quality of life through authentic, safe, and holistic care. As I continue to deepen my clinical knowledge and surgical acumen, I remain dedicated to evolving as a well-rounded Ayurvedic practitioner who integrates traditional practices with modern sensibilities.
